Smiths Medical CADD PRIZM VIP 600
Smiths Medical · Model CADD PRIZM VIP 600
Easy to read display. Reliable and Durable. Programming flexibility. Air-in-Line detector. Event memory log. Lock levels for patient safety.
Key tips
- ·Free-flow protection must be verified on every PM - a failed anti-free-flow clamp is a direct overdose risk.
- ·Test occlusion alarms in both directions - failing to alarm when it should is more dangerous than a false alarm.
- ·Battery run-time complaints are the most common real-world nuisance call - a full charge/discharge cycle test catches most of them.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Failure / error message stops delivery
HighSymptoms: The pump alarms and displays an error message / code and stops.
Root cause: A subsystem fault indexed in the service manual - motor / drive, a sensor, set-detection, or a board.
Occlusion alarm / pressure fault
MediumSymptoms: Repeated occlusion alarms, delivery stops, or an occlusion is missed.
Root cause: Kinked or clamped line, a closed roller clamp, a positional patient tube, pressure-sensor drift, or an improperly loaded set.
Air-in-line alarm
MediumSymptoms: Frequent air-in-line alarms, delivery stops.
Root cause: Air in the set, an improperly loaded set, or an ultrasonic air-detector fault.
Flow-rate accuracy drift
MediumSymptoms: Delivered volume outside tolerance on the annual test, especially at low rates.
Root cause: Worn pumping mechanism / plunger drive.
Battery will not hold charge
MediumSymptoms: Short run time, low-battery early after a full charge.
Root cause: Aged battery pack.
Door / plunger / sensor mechanical wear
LowSymptoms: Set will not load, door will not latch, plunger grip poor.
Root cause: Worn door latch, plunger jaws, or anti-free-flow mechanism.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Occlusion pressure and flow-rate accuracy verification
- ·Battery conditioning cycle
- ·Door latch and air-in-line sensor inspection
- ·Post-drop functional check before return to service
- ·Annual PM per manufacturer schedule
Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Error message or code
- Note the exact error message / code.
- Look it up in the pump's technical service manual troubleshooting section.
- Use the biomed diagnostics / utilities to test the affected subsystem.
- Follow the manual's parts-replacement procedure.
- Run the scheduled-maintenance test set (including flow accuracy) after any repair.
Symptom: Occlusion or delivery problem
- Check the line for kinks, clamps and a closed roller clamp; check the patient site.
- Reload the set correctly, clearing all air.
- Confirm an approved set for this pump.
- Run the pressure / air-detector (or rotor) test in diagnostics.
- Replace the set; refer the pump if a sensor / mechanism fault is indicated.

Safety & Recalls
Synced live from the FDA openFDA API.
- RECALL
Specific Pumps may exhibit intermittent performance in the AILD (Air in Line Detector) function. If an AILD does not sufficiently discern fluid from air in line, an air in line event may not be recognized by the pump and may not alarm to notify the clinician.
- RECALL
One lot of CADD High Volume Administration sets, part number 21-7381-24, lot number 26X035, incorrectly contained the IFU insert for part number 21-7357-24.
- RECALL
Smiths Medical became aware on January 11, 2017, that syringe assemblies provided by Nipro Medical Corporation contained pin holes in the side wall of the hub. The defect was not detected during Smiths Medical incoming inspection. The syringe assemblies were used to manufacture seven (7) finished good lots of Hypodermic Needle Pro needles, Smiths Medical part numbers EL 1915 and SB5021.
- RECALL
20 Pumps sold to the Finnish market contain a message in which one word in the message is mistranslated. When the user follows a specific set of key presses the pump will display the incorrect message. The message indicates that a Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) dose is unavailable because the pump is running. It should indicate that the PCA dose is not available because the pump is stopped. The function of the pump is unchanged and no patient injury can occur since no drug is being delivered.
- RECALL
Smiths Medical has identified an issue with a single batch (Lot Number 2752712) of CADD"-Solis Medication Safety Software Administrator 3.1 CDs. CADD"-Solis Medication Safety Software Administrator 3.1 CDs were sent with the CADD"-Solis Medication Safety Software Point of Care 3.1 software loaded on them.
- RECALL
The year of manufacture had been incorrectly entered as 1980 into the pumps software during the manufacture process. As a result the pump may go into an immediate 'Clock battery is Low/Service Immediately' or 'Clock Battery needs service soon' alarm message indicating that the pump requires servicing.
- RECALL
Sterility of the device is compromised due to lack of package integrity
